Kuwait City / Dining / Lebanese


 

This Lebanese eaterie seems to get it right every time. Cold and hot mezze are equally tasty and the fried kebbeh and salads are expertly done. Meats are cooked well, if a little fatty, and the fruit juices are quite amazing.

 

One of the oldest Middle Eastern restaurants in the country, it’s nestled against the wall of Dasman Palace with views of the sea and Kuwait Towers. The mezze dishes are generous and authentically Lebanese. Water pipes (shishas) can be taken on the upstairs open terrace. Service is very quick. Closed on Saturdays.

 

Expats always take their visitors here for Lebanese food in a soothing setting of palm trees and a waterfall. If you’re unsure what to choose, ask the waiters to put together a combination mezze platter. Main courses are generally grilled meat, fish or poultry. Bread is cooked in the Iranian ovens in the garden. Shishas are also served.
